متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

مادری را طفل در آب اوفتادجان مادر در تب و تاب اوفتاد
A mother's child fell into the water,
The mother's soul fell into a fever and agitation.
در تحیر طفل می زد دست و پایآب بردش تا بناب آسیای
In bewilderment, the child was flailing hands and feet,
The water carried him to the channel of the mill.
خواست شد در ناو مادر کان بدیدشد سوی درز آب حالی برکشید
He was about to enter the mill race when the mother saw it,
She went to the water gate and immediately drew the water back.
آب از پس رفت و آن طفل عزیزبر سر آن آب از پس رفت نیز
The water receded, and that beloved child,
Upon that water, also went backward.
مادرش درجست او را برگرفتشیردادش حالی و در برگرفت
His mother jumped in, picked him up,
Gave him milk immediately, and embraced him.
ای ز شفقت داده مهر مادرانهست این غرقاب را ناوی گران
O You who out of compassion gave the love of mothers,
There is a heavy mill race for this whirlpool.
چون در آن گرداب حیرت اوفتیمپیش ناو آب حسرت اوفتیم
When we fall into that whirlpool of bewilderment,
We fall before the mill race of the water of regret.
مانده سرگردان چو آن طفل در آبدست و پایی می زنیم از اضطراب
Left wandering and bewildered like that child in the water,
We flail our hands and feet out of anxiety.
آن نفس ای مشفق طفلان راهاز کرم در غرقهٔ خود کن نگاه
At that moment, O compassionate one of the children of the path,
By Your grace, look upon Your drowning one.
رحمتی کن بر دل پرتاب مابرکش از لطف و کرم در ز آب ما
Show mercy to our agitated heart,
By Your grace and bounty, pull us out of our water.
شیرده ما را ز پستان کرمبرمگیر از پیش ما خوان کرم
Give us milk from the breast of bounty,
Do not remove the table of bounty from before us.
ای ورای وصف و ادراک آمدهاز صفات واصفان پاک آمده
O You who have come beyond description and comprehension,
Who have come pure from the attributes of describers.
دست کس نرسید برفتراک تولاجرم هستیم خاک خاک تو
No one's hand has reached Your saddle-strap,
Consequently, we are the dust of Your dust.
خاک تو یاران پاک تو شدنداهل عالم خاک خاک تو شدند
Your dust became Your pure companions,
The people of the world became the dust of Your dust.
هرک خاکی نیست یاران ترادشمن است او دوست داران ترا
Whoever is not dust for Your companions
Is an enemy to those who love You.
اولش بوبکر و آخر مرتضاچار رکن کعبهٔ صدق و صفا
First of them Abu Bakr, and last Morteza,
The four pillars of the Kaaba of truth and purity.
آن یکی در صدق هم راز و وزیرو آن دگر در عدل خورشید منیر
That one in truth is the confidant and minister,
And the other in justice is the bright sun.
آن یکی دریای آزرم و حیاآن دگر شاه اولوالعلم و سخا
That one is the ocean of modesty and shame,
And the other is the king of possessors of knowledge and generosity.
